    • The Bi-objective Periodic Closed Loop Network Design Problem 

      Jelodari Mamaghani, Elham; Davari, Soheil (2020-04-15)
      Reverse supply chains are becoming a crucial part of retail supply chains given the recent reforms in the consumers’ rights and the regulations by governments. This has motivated companies around the world to adopt ...
    • Compassion on University Degree Programmes at a UK University: The Neuroscience of Effective Group work 

      Gilbert, Theo; Doolan, Martina; Beka, Dr Sylvia; Spencer, Neil; Crotta, Dr Matteo; Davari, Soheil (2018-06-04)
      Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the neuroscience that underpins the psychology of compassion as a competency. We explain why this cognitive competency is now taught and assessed on modules of different ...
    • The Elderly Centre Location Problem 

      Davari, Soheil; van Woensel, Tom (2020-02-12)
      Increased human life expectancy combined with declining birth rates around the globe has led to ageing populations, particularly in the developed world. This phenomenon brings about increased dependency ratios and calls ...
    • Fuzzy bi-objective preventive health care network design 

      Davari, Soheil; Kilic, Kemal; Ertek, Gurdal (2015-09-01)
      Preventive health care is unlike health care for acute ailments, as people are less alert to their unknown medical problems. In order to motivate public and to attain desired participation levels for preventive programs, ...
    • A heuristic approach to solve the preventive health care problem with budget and congestion constraints 

      Davari, Soheil; Kilic, Kemal; Naderi, Siamak (2016-03-05)
      Preventive health care is of utmost importance to governments since they can make massive savings on health care expenditure and promote the well-being of the society. Preventive care includes many services such as cancer ...
    • A hybrid analytical model for an entire hospital resource optimisation 

      Ordu, Muhammed; Demir, Eren; Davari, Soheil (2021-09-01)
      Given the escalating healthcare costs around the world (more than 10% of the world's GDP) and increasing demand hospitals are under constant scrutiny in terms of managing services with limited resources and tighter budgets. ...
    • The Incremental Cooperative Design of Preventive Healthcare Networks 

      Davari, Soheil (2017-06-27)
      In the Preventive Healthcare Network Design Problem (PHNDP), one seeks to locate facilities in a way that the uptake of services is maximised given certain constraints such as congestion considerations. We introduce the ...
    • A simulated annealing algorithm for routing problems with fuzzy constrains 

      Davari, Soheil; Zarandi, Fazel; Hossein, Mohammed; Hemmati, Ahmed; Turksen, I. Burhan (2014-01-01)
      This paper puts forward a location-routing problem with fuzzy demands (LRPFD). A fuzzy chance constrained programming (CCP) model is presented and a simulation-embedded simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is proposed to ...
